Terence Shen 公子沈 engagement report
@Terenceshen - 413K followers on X
Measured over 58 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 261 interactions against 413K followers, an engagement rate of 0.063%. Measured over 58 original posts, its engagement rate beats 63% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 20K times each, and 1.28% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.95% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 77% of days. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 58 posts sampled, 83% carry an image or video and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.6K interactions, about 22x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #taiwan, #taiwanstrait, #unga81.

Compared with accounts its own size
Terence Shen 公子沈's engagement rate beats 63% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 54% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.063%, Terence Shen 公子沈 sits above the 25th percentile of the 213,004 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.025% to 0.147%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 83% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 17% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 83% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 17% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 229 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

笑死，常州的星宇股份市值300个亿，招进来400个毕业生，还有很多硕士! 结果第二个月，人事就一对一沟通，要求二选一，要么转岗打螺丝，要么主动离职！ 结果这事国内没人管，当地政府也默认，现在的毕业生，00后脑瓜子是真的聪明。 另辟蹊径，师夷长技以制夷，直接投诉到欧盟，玩玩没想到欧盟是真的管😂 然后老板估计担心货物出口受影响，立马出来道歉，影响自己港股上市大业，每个人发三个月生活补贴，免费提供住宿，而且三个月后没找到工作的，接着发6个月工资😂 我这个中国人看了之后，内心真的痛苦万分，“自豪的中国人”，有一天竟然要靠远在千里之外的欧洲来帮自己维护自己的权益！

有认识的朋友传给我，袁腾飞痛骂文昭的音频（在附件中）。袁老师请人给我转话，要求我闭嘴，不得再提到他。首先，我不知这段音频录制的时间和地点，听起来是在国内带团时录制的。也有可能是较早发生的，袁先生已不是当初的想法；也有可能是有人故意在两边挑唆，制造矛盾。但是我苦于没有渠道联系上袁老师，所以只好公开回应一下，希望袁老师能看到。既然直接骂我，那我还是需要把前因后果说明一下。 袁老师提到的，我曾经讲过的“袁腾飞应该移民了”，应该是指我2018年发表的一期影片——《英烈保护法》实施，梁宏达、袁腾飞们可以移民了（20180502第364期）。 那时候我处于自媒体早期的摸索阶段，袁腾飞、老梁、罗振宇、和高晓松都是我关注和模仿的对象，视各位为前辈引路人，所以话题也会不自觉地往各位身上联系。当时作为新人，的确也有傍着已成名的前辈蹭点热度的意图。 是不是因为我的言论真的会给别人带来困扰呢？当时的确考虑没有那么多。不只给袁老师带来过困扰，其实在自媒体生涯中，我也陆续给其他人制造过一些麻烦，甚至是很严重的麻烦。我反躬自省、也深以为疚，所以后来，随着频道的成长，在具体@到某人的时候，就会更加小心。 不过袁老师要求在下闭嘴，实在恕难从命。尽管我曾有不成熟的阶段，虑事不周，但毕竟经营的是一个新闻和时政类自媒体。凡事我都会从新闻价值为第一位出发，我很理解当事人有时并不想成为焦点，但因为是读者关心的话题，仍需追踪。这里无关乎个人好恶，是职业需要。 所以如果以后围绕袁先生继续有故事发生，只要是读者感兴趣的，我也认为有意义，也仍然会出节目谈论。只是方式会更成熟，体现善意，尽量不给当事人制造额外困扰。所以也感谢袁老师把情绪反馈给我。 但是由于我也有特殊标签，可能我一说到某人，中共就会猜测我和他是不是有联系了？对此我很遗憾，但不是我的问题。 我并不是严格意义的新闻工作者，是夹叙夹议的风格，但选题是跟着新闻事件走的。任何人当受关注到一定体量的时候，就会成为新闻角色。这是我们的社会角色之一，是我们避免不了的，袁腾飞老师避免不了、我也避免不了。哪怕有时我们希望成为“被遗忘的人”。 如果我以前的节目内容，给袁Sir的出国过程带来过一些困扰，我很遗憾。但好事多磨，终究有成。袁Sir终于得偿所愿，可喜可贺。祝袁腾飞老师在新环境生活顺心、事业红火！ 至于袁先生所说，出去以后“拿枪毙了这帮人”。我就当作是一时气话，一笑了之。山高水长，也许终有相见的机会。如袁先生有需要帮助之处，也可私下托人告知，在下愿为赞襄。cheers

幾年前和朋友私下達成共識，什麼時候袁騰飛和梁文道都潤了，就說明中國徹底完了。現在完成率50%了。

放過袁Sir。 這兩天看到袁騰飛與文昭之間的一點風波，我心裡沒有多少「圍觀名人吵架」的興趣，反而有一種說不出的難過。 我們這些已經在海外生活多年的人，很容易忘記一件事：自由一旦享受久了，就會覺得自由是空氣，是理所當然的。今天想說什麼就說什麼，批評誰也不用先想一遍父母還在不在國內，朋友會不會被找去談話，自己的舊同事、合作夥伴會不會受到牽連，護照下一次還能不能拿到，回國會不會在機場被留下。 可對一個剛剛從那個環境裡走出來的人，這些並不會在飛機落地的一瞬間消失。 肉身翻牆了，心裡那堵牆可能還要很久才能拆掉。 所以我想說：放過袁Sir。 我並不知道他究竟通過什麼方式離開中國，也不知道他在離開之前做過多少妥協、說過多少不得不說的話，更不知道他今天還有多少親朋故舊留在中國。正因為不知道，我不願意用自己今天坐在自由世界裡的安全，去審判另一個人當年如何從牢籠裡逃出來。 我們這一代來到海外的人，誰的路上沒有一點不堪回首？有人留學，有人投資，有人借道第三國，有人先把孩子送出去做橋，有人假結婚，有人政治庇護，在拿到綠卡之後加入攻擊他聲稱遭受迫害的信仰團體，有人甚至不得不對過去的熟人撒謊換取通關的可能。既然我們都知道逃離一個極權制度並不像買張機票那麼簡單，又何必追問別人：「你為什麼這樣出來？你是不是帶著任務出來？」 這種追問，恰恰會變成那個制度留給我們最深的一種後遺症：人人懷疑人人，人人審查人人，最後人在海外，心卻還活在政治運動裡。 而且我們還必須看到另外一層。中共在海外真正高明的地方，未必是它能夠操縱每一個人、安排每一場爭論。很多時候它根本不需要做到這一步。海外自媒體人都有自己的影響力，也都有自己的性格、經歷、光彩和缺陷，有人尖銳，有人謹慎，有人重情，有人好勝，有人曾經在體制內生活很久，有人離開中國已經多年。這些本來都是正常的人性差異，可一旦被刻意剪輯、放大、挑撥，再配合匿名帳號、真假難辨的錄音、動機猜測和互相扣帽子，最後呈現給中國國內和海外觀眾的，便是一幅「海外反對者彼此不信任、互相攻擊、自由世界一樣混亂」的圖景。 這其實是最值得我們警惕的地方。它甚至不必創造我們的缺點，只要利用我們每個人的優點和缺點，就足以讓彼此消耗。 一個有才華的人，容易有自己的驕傲；一個有巨大觀眾基礎的人，說出的每一句話都容易被放大；一個受過迫害的人，可能對某些事情格外敏感；一個長期研究中共的人，又可能本能地懷疑每一個異常細節。這些都很正常。可如果我們把每一次性格碰撞都上升到「敵我」，把每一次誤會都解釋成「滲透」，最後甚至開始要求彼此證明忠誠，那麼最得利的恰恰不是任何一位自媒體人，而是那個最希望海外華人永遠無法建立信任的政權。 袁騰飛不是一個完美的人，正如我們自己常有執著一樣。我也從來沒有要求一個從中國大陸走出來的人，第二天就必須成為我們想像中的「標準海外異議人士」。但是有幾件事情，我認為應該替他記住。 他是在中國封閉、殘缺甚至被有意改寫的歷史敘述裡，自己去尋找真相的人；他有能力從浩如煙海的歷史材料和北京複雜的人情世故中分辨真假善惡；更重要的是，在毛澤東的名字仍然帶著巨大政治禁忌的年代，他曾經公開、尖銳地批評毛澤東。 文昭並沒有攻擊袁騰飛，甚至表達多是敬重。而袁騰飛的所謂反擊則是多年前在國內的應激反應，被一些人翻了出來。 這裡我還有一份很私人的感情。**文昭是我的朋友，袁騰飛則是我神交已久的人。我的「歷史上的今天」系列，後來成就了我今天的自媒體事業，而我最早對中共歷史的反思與反叛，很大程度上正是受到這位比我小四歲的歷史老師啟發。**所以今天我看這場風波，很難只把它當成兩個自媒體人的一場口舌之爭。對我來說，一邊是朋友，一邊是曾經在思想上點醒過我的人。我更願意做的，不是選一邊去傷害另一邊，而是希望兩個我都尊重的人，不要被海外中文圈熟悉的那套猜疑、站隊和清算推得越來越遠。 今天我們在美國、加拿大、歐洲、澳洲坐在鏡頭前罵毛澤東，並不需要多大的勇氣。當年一個在北京有工作、有家庭、有朋友圈、有現實利益牽掛的人這麼做，需要付出的代價完全不同。這份智慧和勇氣，不應該因為今天一句難聽的話、一段來歷尚未完全釐清的錄音，就被一筆抹掉。 而且我想說，真正值得高興的，是袁Sir終於有機會真正生活在自由世界裡。 也許從此少了一些北京酒桌上的推杯換盞，少了一些熟悉的人情世故；但是他多了一樣東西——可以自由說話。他可以憑自己的歷史知識、幽默和人格魅力去認識新的朋友，可以少花一些心思與權力、審查和經營環境周旋，可以多一點時間陪家人，也可以找幾個真正值得交往的人，坐下來喝杯茶，想說什麼就說什麼。 這本身就是自由的意義。 當年毛左圍攻袁騰飛，我一直記得那種景象。另一方面，法輪功學員在中國遭遇的是更加系統、更加殘酷的國家迫害，兩者在程度和性質上不能簡單等同，但有一個共同點值得我們今天想一想：一個政治制度最可怕的地方，就是它先製造「敵人」，再要求所有人表態，最後逼普通人參與對另一群人的圍攻。 如果我們出了國，仍然熱衷於替別人劃成分、查動機、定敵我，那麼共產黨甚至不用追到海外來，它留在我們腦子裡的那套東西，自己就會繼續工作。 毛澤東當年講過一句非常有名的話：「誰是我們的敵人？誰是我們的朋友？」我厭惡這套把世界劃成敵我的政治哲學，但是今天倒願意把這句話反過來提醒自己：不要輕易把朋友變成敵人。 朋友有時候說話難聽，脾氣不好，甚至會誤解你、罵你；敵人反而可能極其禮貌，西裝革履，滿面笑容，最後要的卻是你的自由，甚至你的命。 海外中文政治圈真正需要學會的，也許正是這件很普通、卻很難的事：有分歧，不必有仇恨；可以批評，不必清算；可以爭論一件事，不必審判一個人的整個人生。 袁Sir才剛剛有機會真正接觸這片自由的土地。給他一點時間，給他一點空間，也給他一點我們自己當年離開中國時曾經多麼渴望得到的善意。 如果有一天，他願意把自己這些年的故事慢慢講出來，我願意坐下來聽。 在那之前，我的態度只有一句： 放過袁Sir。也放過彼此。 我們離開那個制度，不就是因為厭倦了人人鬥人人嗎？

- What is Terence Shen 公子沈's engagement rate on X?
- Terence Shen 公子沈 (@Terenceshen) has an engagement rate of 0.063%, based on the median interactions across 58 original posts from the last 30 days against 412,998 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.063%, Terence Shen 公子沈 sits above the 25th percentile of the 213,004 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @Terenceshen have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 63% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @Terenceshen post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.77 posts per day across the measured window.
